Kelly, let me give you some tips on searching (and I don't always find what the hell I am after either).

1. Do a complete name search, i.e. luger pistol 9mm erfurt artillery

This will bring up any pages with all of those words.

Adding " and " front and back will make the search look for those words in that order, I never find this very useful, but a good option if looking for exact matches.

2. Use different words / and/or combination of words, such as

parabellum pistol 7.65 mm or luger handgun germany etc. Using different combinations will get you different things. Sometimes writers will put pistol, sometimes revolver, handgun, etc., and those pages won't pop up unless the search engine sees those words on the pages.

Even tho there are literally millions of pages of web pages in the USA, it all depends on if they are searchable, have the right words etc., or the searchable words are not on say the first page that the search engine looks for. That is why sometimes you will never see a certain webpage, but then somehow you come across it later!
